ORIGINAL POSTERQuick question. My visa is valid until May 25th. I have a flight to another country on May 26th at 1:30 AM. Can I go to the airport earlier and pass through immigration before midnight on May 25th?
DMK airport.
DMK airport.
TLDR : Answer Summary
You can pass through immigration at DMK airport before midnight on May 25th for your flight scheduled after midnight on May 26th, as long as you clear passport control before the visa expires.

Yes. Go through check before midnight. Easy

Exactly

You are supposed to check in 3 hours before your flight anyway.
So I do not see the problem that you will want to check in after midnight.
You will be fine.

also depends on airline. I have been in situations where checkin counter doesn’t open until 2-2.5 hours before flight.YT ********************

Good Question👍
On the other hand you could also extend one day next time when you fly to thailand and land at 11pm. After landing wait before immigration just 1 more hour untill you pass through 😁 just check if the officer adjust the date already 😉

Yes. Check in usually opens 3 hours before the flight, so you’ll be ok.
Jeremy ********
Yes you can…most airlines open up the customer counter 3-4 hours prior to departure time
Stephan ***********
Yep... do so and you'll be fine.

As long as you get through passport control before midnight, you'll be fine.

eh, did you read the recent post? One guy said it's not about what time you pass through the immigration but what time is the flight...Brandon ************
@YT *******************
That guy is an idiot. Immigration doesn't even look at your boarding passReply to

what if don't?Brandon ************

Then you get an overstay stamp in your passport and the fee is waived for 1-day overstay at airports.YT ********************
ORIGINAL POSTER@Brandon ***********
the guy said that you can be overstayed less than 24hr without fine, is it true?Brandon ************
@YT *******************
only at airports. 1 day overstay fine is waived but you still get overstay stamp in your passportReply to

500baht overstay fee and an overstay stamp in your passport. That’s the worse case scenario. If they are feeling generous, they will just give you the overstay stamp and not charge you.Wannikea *********

is it possible that they let me go without overstay stamp if 5 minutes after midnight?Wannikea *********
@YT *******************
what part of before midnight is hard for you to understand?YT ********************

anything is possible but I wouldn’t count on it. Get there early enough and you will avoid it all together. Good luck.David ******

for fucks sake, if you're so worried about it, just make sure you're through in time. It's not that hard.YT ********************
